Chemistry鈥檚 Kabirul Islam Awarded $650,000 from NSF to Study Cell Lineage
, an assistant professor in the 51精品视频鈥檚聽, recently won a three-year $650,000 grant from the 聽area of the National Science Foundation to develop answer a central question in mammalian biology: how is it that identical DNA in an organism can create聽diverse cell lineages?
The grant funds an integrated chemical biology research and educational program, which will聽reprogram expression of genes that underlie cell division,聽differentiation, lineage聽and ultimately, organismal development.
鈥淭he interdisciplinary research setting that brings together organic synthesis, protein engineering and cell biology, will provide a unique training ground for graduate and undergraduate students,鈥 Islam said.
